Random stuff from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. I was ten so I just skipped the dialogs and jammed with the music .

Smoke on the water... And I was a drummer at the time.

Don't Drag Me Down by Social Distortion

 

[Stan Laurel]

Louie, Louie was one of the early one, but I think the first was "I Saw Her Standing There" or one of the Beatles tunes.

I'm a little ADD, so I always have several things going at once and learned several songs in the same time window.

Enter Sandman - Metallica
Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes
Dazed and Confused - Led Zeppelin
Cannonball - The Breeders
With or Without You - U2

i could have lied p:

 

[hrodbert696]

Pretty sure it was "Planet Claire" by the B-52s. Which is basically the same as that Duane Eddy riff.

 

[KenHR]

Howlin' Wolf's "Killin' Floor."

 

[tdub0199]

Comfortably numb

^ this was my 1st as well....

 

[BinkyBassist]

Echoplex, by Nine Inch Nails, but I realized a little time ago I wasn't playing the bassline, just the guitar riff (and I didn't even play the whole song).
That very same day I learnt:
Seven Nation Army - The White Striples
For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica
Entre Dos Aguas - Paco de Lucía
Come As You Are - Nirvana (just the main riff)
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Too Many Puppies - Primus
Mr. Krinkle - Primus

And tried to learn:
Processed Beats - Kasabian
Teddy Picker - Arctic Monkeys
My Name Is Mud - Primus

And failed miserably...
That was an INTENSE day!

One of my own. I'd just picked up the bass to play in a three piece noise rock band, after playing guitar for a couple of years. Some of the first basslines I made I actually still consider quiet good. A song called "Devalue" and a song called "On Foil", which of cause means nothing to you. Never practiced other peoples basslines. All though I have been considering picking it up lately, properly would be some Tool stuff.
